“Adults recall an estimated 40% more when learning with direct, purposeful experiences.”(NTCC 1993)

LECTURE &HANDS-ONCLINICALEXPERIENCE

ACADEMY OF Gp ORTHODONTICS Offering comprehensive orthodontic continuing education courses where you treat patients, not typodonts. Our 12-session course meets one weekend every two months and consists of a Friday classroom instruction and a Saturday comprehensive clinical hands-on training with direct patient treatment. All patients, materials, and supplies for the clinical sessions are provided by the Academy. The lectures include identification and understanding of the various types of patient malocclusions and how they can be treated effectively utilizing the Differential Straight-Arch® Technique. The knowledge gained through the Friday lecture/didactic format is reinforced by Saturday’s clinical participation, allowing you the optimum learning experience.

TECHNIQUE ADVANTAGESThe Differential Straight-Arch® Technique is a comprehensive, fixed orthodontic appliance that facilitates learning because it is divided into three stages of treatment. The bracket has the following advantages: • It reduces the need for functional appliances, head gear, or any

distalizing mechanics. • Extraction cases can be treated much easier. • Teeth can be moved using light forces without anchorage strain. • It reduces the need for orthognathic surgery. • Anterior deep bites can be opened without the need for bite planes.

COURSE ADVANTAGES • It provides clinical training with patients for a hands-on experience. • Treat a case load of patients from bracketing to retention for a full

clinical experience. • Participants are encouraged to begin cases in their own practices by the

third or fourth session. • There is ongoing mentoring and case consultation, along with available

staff training. • You will have the same instructor for each session with monitoring

privileges upon completion. • It is an invaluable source of CDE hours at a reasonable cost.

“This course was a wonderful learning experience for me. It has given me the ability as a general practitioner to confidently treat those patients already in my practice who desire orthodontic treatment. And the best part is the network of fellow students and our instructor, who was always there to help with challenging cases. I highly recommend this course.”– T. Jacobsen, D.D.S.

The Academy’s 12-session hands-on courses are designed

to be the closest CE Course to an

orthodontic residency for the

General Practitioner.

Comprehensive orthodontics where you treat patients, not typodonts!

CLINICAL ORTHODONTIC TRAINING A highly qualified team of instructors, clinical instructors, and hosts provide on-going support and invaluable comprehensive clinical hands-on training with direct patient treatment to ensure excellent case results. Courses are limited in number of participants in order to maintain an optimum, dynamic student-to-instructor learning experience in a clinical setting. By the third session, you are encouraged to start orthodontic cases in your own practice. Course tuition and expenses are easily recovered by beginning three to four cases in your own practice. You are encouraged to bring patient records to the Friday sessions for case mentoring and troubleshooting. Tuition also includes monitoring for one year upon completion of the course, with current AGpO membership.

COURSE FORMATThis Comprehensive Clinical Ortho-dontic Course will meet one weekend every two months for a total of 12 sessions. In addition to treating patients, participants will develop a digital library by taking intra-oral photographs of hands-on patients and will give case presentations to the class during the Friday seminar session. There will also be time to go over case records brought from each participant’s own practice. Along with diagnosis and technique, the Friday seminar will include: • Etiology/Causation • Growth and development • Early/Interceptive treatment • Diagnosis • Treatment planning • Facial esthetics • Orthodontic mechanics • Palatal expansion • Space maintenance • Creating space/Air Rotor Stripping • Impactions • Surgical orthodontics • Oral habits • Limited cases • TMD • Finishing • Retention • Practice and risk management

You will have the same instructor for all 12 sessions and

on-going mentoring after the course

is completed.

“I took this course with the intention of improving my esthetic cases, but after starting the course I soon realized how orthodontics was going to become a big portion of my practice. The lecture and hands-on training gave me the confidence after a few sessions to begin some cases. Now after completing the course, orthodontics has become a real enjoyment for me and my staff. ”– K. Stodola, D.D.S.

COURSE OBJECTIVES • Diagnosis • Treatment Planning • Active Treatment • Case Finishing • De-bracketing • Retention • Ortho Practice Management

Tuition is quickly recovered by starting 3-4 casesin your own practice.

SESSION OBJECTIVES“Introductory Orthodontic Session” – A one-day session allowing potential course participants the opportunity to experience a lecture session, meet the instructor, the clinical instructor(s) and/or host dentist and visit the clinical facility.

The lecture consists of a lecture of current ideas and trends in orthodontics and will allow the participant to view documented case presentations of cases treated in the course and a question and answer (Q & A) period regarding the course curriculum and the Differential Straight-Arch® Technique (Tip-Edge® System).

These introductory sessions will assist the participant in making an informed decision as to whether he/she will make the commitment to participate in the comprehensive 12-session hands-on program. This will also allow the instructor, the clinical instructor(s) and/or host dentist the opportunity to meet and inter-view potential course participants. Course enrollment is based on “a first-come, first-served basis”. Potential enrollees have one week following the introductory session to enroll in the course. Enrollment is full tuition, including 2 years AGpO membership. All course enrollments are contingent upon approval by the course instructor following the introductory session.
